Of course, when we specify some localized environment, <lang> is not
enough, <lang>.<encoding> is better thing.
But Japanese encodings such as EUC-JP, Shift_JIS and JIS are easily
machine-convertable. I don't know of such thing about Chinese
encodings.
So we should not maintain three "contently same but different encoding"
texts in CVS repository. It is waste of disk space and human resource.

I think so. I want to know what Chinese translators thinks.

Agreed. (But I don't like such deep directory hierarchy which you
proposed :-)
